Conversica Raises $31 Million Series C for AI-Based Conversations

Conversica, which creates automated “intelligent assistants” for online tasks such as qualifying leads and scheduling meetings, has raised a $31 million Series C, bringing total funding to $87 million. Conversica agents are more natural than your average chatbot.

More AI funding: London-based LoopMe has raised $17 million for AI-driven ad placement, attribution and optimization. The new round brings total funding to $32 million and will fund expansion in the U.S. market.

Still doubt that AI adds value? You’re such a skeptic. CDP vendor and AI-powered personalization system Blueshift analyzed 3.8 billion marketing interactions and found that AI can drive 7x higher customer engagement, 3x more revenue, and other good things. It’s science.
